From Sam Culper:
U.S. intelligence agencies conducted illegal surveillance on American citizens over a five-year period, a practice that earned them a sharp rebuke from a secret court that called the matter a “very serious” constitutional issue.
The criticism is in a lengthy secret ruling that lays bare some of the frictions between the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and U.S. intelligence agencies obligated to obtain the court’s approval for surveillance activities.

“…..how the secret federal court oversees surveillance activities and seeks to curtail those that it deems overstep legal authority.”
“…..“institutional ‘lack of candor’ ” for failing to inform the court. It described the matter as “a very serious Fourth Amendment issue.”
Ok, so let me get this straight….a “secret” court issuing “secret” search warrants to do “secret searches, to perform “secret” surveillance on Americans, etc. etc. etc. is upset because another government agency isn’t following the rules?
DAMN!!! dat kettle sho is black!
